Sounds like you’ve never been in a Waymo. It’s so much better than an Uber it’s not even funny, and that’s worth many billions right there.

Apple just recently cancelled their car project after ten years of R&D and spending over $10 billion.
But Waymo is essentially building an automated taxi service, not self driving cars to be sold to consumers. Replacing taxis would probably never produce the margins that Apple expects. Self driving cars would only make sense for Apple if they could produce what Elon Musk has claimed Tesla would produce (and probably never will) - level 4+ driving.
